doxazosin and Muscle Relaxation

doxazosin has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 6 studies

Doxazosin: A prazosin-related compound that is a selective alpha-1-adrenergic blocker.
doxazosin : A member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline substituted by an amino group at position 4, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a piperazin-1-yl group at position 2 which in turn is substituted by a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylcarbonyl group at position 4. An antihypertensive agent, it is used in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Muscle Relaxation: That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"It has been demonstrated that long-term administration of doxazosin, an alpha 1 adrenoceptor antagonist, causes an up-regulation in the expression of alpha 1 adrenoceptor subtype mRNAs in the rat genitourinary tract."1.34Contractile responses of rabbit bladder neck to adrenaline, acetylcholine and papaverine after doxazosin treatment. ( Ali Onur, M; Eroglu, M; Kandirali, E; Metin, A; Semercioz, A; Sezgin, A, 2007)
"Tamsulosin was shown to have greater potency than prazosin (more than 100-fold), doxazosin (more than 1000-fold), and terazosin (more than 1000-fold), in relaxation of cavernous smooth muscle."1.30Comparison of relaxation responses of cavernous and trigonal smooth muscles from rabbits by alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists; prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin, and tamsulosin. ( Kim, SC; Lee, MY; Lim, SW; Seo, KK, 1999)
